In July of 1990, the U.S. Department of Energy embarked on a new and challenging research program aimed at developing continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) for wide spread commercialization in industrial applications. It was the DOE`s intention to provide funding to the advanced composites industry to support the research and development efforts already underway to commercialize CFCC materials. The strategy was to {open_quotes}team{close_quotes} composite manufacturers with original equipment manufacturers such that the research and development activities addressed the performance needs of the intended end-use applications and stayed focused on a path to commercialization. Applications are directed towards gas turbines, hot gas filters, and heat exchangers.
